Mozarts music was classical and difficult to play, he was a genius. Today we have pop (Britney Spears) but you don't hear much classical unless you go to orchestras. We have hip-hop today, Pop, R&B, Gospel. It's all really different from Mozart. If Mozart was alive he would not know whats going on with the world. He'd be really surprised.
